Suriname’s telecom sector is evolving rapidly, led by Telesur’s investments in mobile and broadband infrastructure. “We’ve successfully deployed 4G LTE nationwide and launched Suriname’s first 5G network in Paramaribo,” says Doric Armesh Ramlakhan, CEO of Telesur. The company is also finalizing its fiber rollout, bringing high-speed internet to the entire coastal region.

Beyond connectivity, Telesur is expanding into fintech, cloud computing, and data services. “We aim to transform into a digital platform company,” Ramlakhan explains. Strategic partnerships with Cisco and Ciena are strengthening Suriname’s role as a regional tech hub.

Looking ahead, Telesur is committed to bridging the digital divide. “We operate 75 solar-powered sites in remote areas, ensuring connectivity for all,” Ramlakhan emphasizes. With Suriname’s economic growth, Telesur is poised to drive innovation and investment in the digital economy.
